Tiny Little Things That Cause You Irrational Rage

[Loz]

There's a difference between polite asking versus intimidating and annoying customers. The first is, I think, rather entrepreneurial and good luck to them. But if a simple "no" is not accepted then they should be given the boot off the premises by management.

[Louisa]

Loz that's the problem. There are often around 15/20 guys stood around and they approach almost everyone who enters the car park and to someone by themselves this can often come across as quite intimidating particularly when you are approached by a couple of them. Sometimes they ask if you want a job doing then go away if you say no, often times I've totally ignored them and found they will pester until you literally say no half a dozen times. It's annoying more than anything, but I could see why some folk may find it intimidating.

It's the same at Wickes in Catford but most of them are on the beer, even at 7am.

The guys at B&Q are particularly nasty.

On one occasion whilst I was sitting in my car a Security Guard with a large Dog

approached them and told them to leave. About 20 of these guys confronted the Security Man

and seemed unperturbed by the dog.

It was only when " Police vans turned up that most of the guys disappeared into thin air.

Even then with a dozen or so Police also with dogs and the presence of an over head helicopter

they continued to argue.

I drove off at this time..

You really don't want to invite this mob into your homes..

Fox that's a pretty regular occupancy unfortunately. I think the security guys gave up in the end due to the intimidation plus the fact it's private property and the police kind of have their hands tied in many ways. I wonder how often they have the police helicopter out for these guys? I've seen it out over there too and many of the guys just ran across to McDonald's or ASDA.

B&Q in general

It don't happen in Selco car park

Move along people

[Louisa]

This is true Seabag.

However, Selco is primarily a tradesman used business, unlike B&Q which is mostly DIY people who are more likely to take some of these guys on.

I'd expect the opposite. No regular shopper is suddenly going to pick a guy out of a crowd of rough looking men and say come trim my skirting.

They're expecting trade work, preferably in small groups.

[LadyNorwood]

the word "totes" - as in this thread (at least it wasn't followed by "amazeballs") http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,1458307,1458359,page=1#msg-1458359

That's what I thought too. Short term casual site labouring, etc.

Men who carry their wallets in their front pockets. Dont really know why, just irrational rage.

[Dopamine1979]

I'm guilty of that. Am I meant to store it in the pockets on my bum? I fear it will get pinched.

And someone might try and steal my wallet.

[Otta]

Wallet is strictly a coat pocket thing for me, too big for trouser pocket (not because it's packed with cash unfortunately).

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Back pocket for wallet...it's totally irrational. Front makes more sense from a theft point of view. I have an irrational rage against men at the barber who choose straight not natural hairline at the back. Don't know why!

[Dopamine1979]

What about in the summer Otta?

[Help-Ma-Boab]

That wee pocket just under the laccky band on a pair o Speedos.

I put all my money in my sock. You never know what may happen on a walk (something I try to avoid God bless my car).

I usually have a jacket tied round my waist, making my wallet very easily nickable.

Stupid things companies and government departments say. I printed off some train times from the National Rail Enquiries site. Part of the fare conditions carefully pointed out...

Travel is allowed on any permitted route.

Well... durrr.
